GEMPACK 8.0 Helper Programs


These programs are intended only for users of GEMPACK 8.0. They require Windows95 or later. GEMPACK 9.0 users see here. GEMPACK 7.0 users see here. GEMPACK 6.0 users see here.

The programs are:
ViewHAR data file (HAR) viewer and editor
ViewSOL solution file (SL4) viewer.
TABMate editor for examining, modifying and debugging TAB files
The Charter for graphing numbers from ViewHAR and ViewSOL

All four programs are contained within a single self-extracting EXE. Download and run BUNDLE02.EXE to install all four. Each program has a Help...What's New command which lists main new features.

Warning
DO NOT download the above file if you are using GEMPACK 7 (or previous). These newer programs will not work properly, and you might have to re-install GEMPACK to set things right.

If you have previously installed any of these programs, it is your responsibility to check that existing icons and shortcuts point to the newly installed version, not the old version. The Help..About box for each program shows which version is running.


Special Advice to users of GEMPACK Source Code LF95 edition
Two versions of the file SLTOHTA.EXE exist:
(a) one optimized for use with SL4 files made by LF90 programs (size about 1 Mb)
(b) one optimized for use with SL4 files made by LF95 programs (size about 1.5 Mb)
Either (a) or (b) should work for you, but (b) will work faster for SL4 files that you create. The download file BUNDLE02.EXE will overwrite your original copy of SLTOHTA.EXE with LF90 version (a) above. This is probably sub-optimal. However, BUNDLE02.EXE also contains an LF95 version of (b) above, named SLTOHT95.EXE. To restore the original situation (ie, make SLTOHTA.EXE an LF95 program), you should:
1. Install BUNDLE02.EXE
2. Rename the new SLTOHTA.EXE to SLTOHT90.EXE
3. Copy SLTOHT95.EXE to SLTOHTA.EXE
To understand more about this issue, see the ViewHAR online help topic "Lahey and Fujitsu File Formats".


If you have a problem with these programs, you should first download the latest versions from this page, and install them again. New problems are discovered and fixed every month. If the problem persists, contact Mark Horridge (see below), but be sure to email him the "diagnostic file" which you can get from the Help..About command in each program.


This page gives access to various Object Pascal routines for reading, writing, and manipulating the HAR (header array) files used by GEMPACK. You would need access to, and familiarity with, the Borland Delphi compiler to use these. They might be useful for processing data or result files used in the GEMPACK system.
